The Other World Dining Hall

Hamburg

At the eastern end of the western continent there is one country called the Sea Country.

The country consists of a coastal capital and countless small islands inhabited by humans, beasts, demons, etc.

Islands...... The islands of the Sea are inhabited by various things from island to island, and although they can take various things, the amount of grace they receive from each island is never significant.

Hence the exchange of what can be taken on the islands from time immemorial… trading has been carried out frequently and at the same time the technique of sailing across the sea has been refined.

Its history still has a huge impact on the present day, and when it comes to the western continent's maritime nations, it is a much flourishing trading nation due to its dealings with the eastern continent, which has been pacified after its battle with the Demons.

There are countless islands like that that are unsuitable for intelligent creatures to live on, and some are uninhabited.

It was one of those islands where Rowkay, a young fisherman who stands alone in his fortune on a nearby island from his father and takes fish and makes and lives dried food, came led by Arte.

"You know..."

"What?"

Still, in the wake of the morning sun, which hasn't had that much time since I ascended, I turn to Rowkay, who reluctantly asks, Arte...

The mermaid (well dizzy) girl, with brown skin and sea-colored hair and eyes, like the people of the sandy land of the South, and the lower half of the fish, who comes from the sea of the South, turns around and listens back not only with an immobile face of expression.

"No, you know what... really here?

Staring at her eyes as clear as the sea, Rowkay wanders with her cheeks blushing.

"Yes... I didn't have a match when I found it, so I couldn't. Thanks to Rowkay. Thank you."

Arte groans heavily at Rowkay like that.

The face is full of confidence and beautiful.

Speaking of women, I only know a crappy woman from a local fishing village. Not to mention too irritating for Rowkay.

Rowkay's acquaintance with Arte was about a stormy day three days ago.

That day, Rowkay was about to be swallowed up by death after being thrown out of the ship by rough waves, and Arte helped him.

He carried Rowkay, who sank in a mermaid swim without a storm, to the bowl of the ship, and prayed to the god of water (the blue god, he said) to stop the waves and show them.

Later, after the storm had stopped, people were transported to the island where they lived, and Rowkay struggled to escape death.

Naturally Rowkay appreciated it, and fell in love with its beauty and tenderness.

I would do anything I could to thank you, I would say so.

… Even if it was a ruined substitute in many ways for "10 Silver Coins" that was requested as a thank you, Arte was a benefactor and loved one for Rowkay.

The promise then gave Alte 10 silver coins as a promise...... gold there to the runaway fisherman but a lot cheaper for the price of his life, Rowkay asked.

What the hell do you use it for?

I don't know everything about Rowkay and the world, but I never heard of mermaids shopping with gold like humans.

Not just mermaids, but races that are called demons even close to what people are like, usually don't think of money as' valuable '.

But this self-proclaimed mermaid from the southern sea was different.

Apparently, in her hometown, mermaids also interacted normally with humans as' believers in the Blue God ', and they knew exactly how much money was worth.

That said, in the northern ocean, which came out as a training journey, mermaids are usually useless because they do not receive a blue god and do not even try to interact with humans.

... except for one use.

And to use it for the only use, Arte was guiding Rowkay.

"It's in the woods ahead"

"It is... in the woods?

To Arte's words, Rowkay puts his neck up and sees Arte's fins sinking beneath the water.

Swinging in every bit of water. That's a fishy tail.

It would be ideal for swimming underwater, but not for walking ashore.

"No problem......"

Having perceived such a Rowkay question, Arte prays to the Blue God.

The legs of Arte are changed by the prayer of the great six-colored priest, who deserves to be profound.

A fin like a fish turned into a human one as he saw it... from a shin to a leg with pale scales and nails that could tear even iron down.

"What!?

"Pray to the Blue God and you'll get the dragon's legs... but I still can't do wings or anything"

To surprise Rowkay, Arte says with a little bit of chest on.

A prayer to obtain the legs of a dragon, of Arte, who is also a cleric of a brilliant blue God.

It is a technique worn to carry out exchanges with the people of the land for training.

"Let's go. Later, more people."

I take my hand and land while prompting Rowkay, who is surprised by the sight in front of me.

Then, slightly more forcefully, Arte pushes through the woods and reaches the place.

"... Got it"

And Arte reaches in front of that door.

Once, the same door painted with a black cat painting that I found in my hometown.

"Go"

Take Rowkay's hand and open the door.

Hearing the chillin 'chillin' bells, Arte and Rowkay knocked at the door.

"Welcome... Oh, it's been a long time, Mr. Arte"

I ask with a little surprise that the visitor early in the morning was the girl I hadn't seen here recently and that the girl had an unfamiliar boy.

"Long time no see. Order, okay?

I say hello to the owner and ask him if he can order all my paced arte quickly.

"Yes. It's okay. As always... Hey, what do you want me to do for you?

While I consider that confirmation only because the dishes Arte asks for are always the same, the shopkeeper realizes that there are different people with him today.

The usual, tanned brunette boy, not a woman who would be slightly older than Arte.

This is the first customer I've seen in this store.

"Yeah. Demi Glass Hamburg, Rice for 2"

Knowing or not what such a shopkeeper thinks, Arte orders his usual dishes.

Soft dishes, roasted meat of beasts on land, not fish of the sea that could be eaten.

Arte has been a captive of this ever since he was able to be taken by the same cleric seniors as a 'reward' after he learned to pray to get the dragon's legs.

"Yes. Please wait."

Take the order and the store owner pulls into the kitchen in the back.

Let's sit down.

After seeing it through, Arte sits in the right seat.

"Uh, is this...?

Sitting down according to Arte, Rowkay asks Arte, finally having his head caught up with the matter.

Earlier, if you thought Arte's leg had turned into a dragon's leg, there was an unnatural door in the woods, and the corner that crept through it, the inner room.

I couldn't make it clear.

"This is a different world cafeteria"

To Rowkay like that, Arte teaches about the place pale.

"Where you can eat demiglass hamburgers"

... though it's only a perception for her.

Then I often wait.

"Thank you for waiting! I brought you a demiglass hamburger!

A girl with legs out, much tightly tailored clothes puts it in front of Arte and Rowkay.

They say they are eaten in brightly colored carpets or on the eastern continent, placed in the center of a black plate colored by a small yellow grain of vegetables, rounded flat, hung from the top with red and black juice, with roasted eggs on top, meat.

It would be finely chopped and put together the meat of the beast on land, which Rowkay usually doesn't have much to say.

It was placed on a plate of iron that was heated. It makes noises all the time.

Placed beside it is a pure white rice served in a vessel that makes you wonder how fine it is.

"Heh..."

That, to the sound and smell of the meat being cooked, Rowkay drinks the sauce.

"Eh this..."

I was just about to ask, and soon I see Arte eating a knife and a fork in his hand called 'Migura Hangu', and Rowkay gives up asking a lot.

"Hey Hii. If you want to talk about it, you should."

Chewing on the corn and meat, Arte tells Rowkay what's important.

"... yeah, thanks"

Having grown accustomed to that unique time, Rowkay decides to start eating himself too.

"... Oh, you're pretty soft"

Learned from Arte and with an unfamiliar knife and fork in his hand, Rowkay first cuts the meat apart.

I thought it was pretty stiff because it was well polished, enough to cut with a metal knife. That's softer than I expected and cuts lightly.

This softness was probably enough for Rowkay to eat enough chopsticks he was used to.

"Then..."

Then, carry the meat cut into bites into your mouth with a fork.

And tighten...

"... What!?

I was surprised by the deliciousness.

Meat of the beast on land, not usually eaten.

The meat was fine and beastless.

Every time you tighten it, the gravy, which is plenty in the meat, overflows and spreads in your mouth.

And the gravy hangs from the top, mixed with juice with sweet and sour flavors...

(Ko, this... makes me want rice!

Grab the rice placed beside you and snag it in with a fork.

(Ooh! This is amazing!

The light flavor of slightly sweet, moist rice makes it taste great when it meets the flavor of gravy and juice.

Hanbagu, but good enough, but Hanbagu, who eats with rice, was different again.

"... you should also match the egg yellow"

Arte advises Rowkay, who is fascinated by its flavour and goes on to eat hamburgers and rice in abundance.

Make sure Rowkay sees us, and Arte tells him how to eat what his senior taught him.

Yes, the flavour of the meat of the beast on land is supplemented by a complex flavour sauce, as well as the soft flavour of the yellow of the eggs that have not been fired through, which further enhances the flavour.

"... true. It tastes better when you add eggs."

I can be directed at Arte with those words, smile.

It brought to Arte a sense of wonder and satisfaction.

Then, they eat a lot and leave the store behind.

"Arte wanted silver coins to go to that store."

On his way back to the sea, Rowkay asked him, and Arte snorted.

"Yes."

Hearing the answer and feeling her cheeks get faintly hot, Rowkay makes the suggestion she had been thinking about earlier.

"Well, maybe next time, why don't you come with me? I'll give you the money then."

"Are you sure?

To the suggestion, Arte asks back, with only a few necks hanging.

"Of course I am."
